Job Details
T he Department of Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track, teaching faculty position. The Department offers an interdisciplinary research and education program housed within a top-ranked College of Engineering. Innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and problem solving reflect the spirit of Carnegie Mellon. We look forward to you joining us to make an impact on the future of medicine through interdisciplinary engineering innovation. Our faculty members benefit from a strong university-wide collaborative culture, generous research support, outstanding students, and comprehensive benefits.
Initiated in the 1960’s, Biomedical Engineering at CMU has a rich history of research, innovation, and clinical application. There are exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations with other engineering departments; departments outside of engineering such as computer science, biology, neuroscience, machine learning, and robotics; and clinicians at major medical centers in greater Pittsburgh and the Mayo Clinic. To learn more about the department, please visit our website at https://www.cmu.edu/bme/ .
At CMU, the candidate will be expected to pursue teaching and other education-related activities, such as advising, course development, and curriculum stewardship. A normal teaching load is three courses per semester, or six courses per academic year. If the teaching faculty member takes on a high level of service, this teaching load may be reduced to two courses per semester. The candidate should be able to teach biomedical engineering design (capstone) and medical devices, and the ability to teach classes in other biomedical engineering areas such as bioinstrumentation would be beneficial. Appointments will generally be made at the assistant teaching professor level, but exceptional candidates at a more advanced level will also be considered. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering or a related field and demonstrate evidence of excellence and dedication to teaching. Additional required qualifications include a strong teaching philosophy with demonstrated teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate level. Successful candidates will be expected to provide excellent classroom instruction, supportive student mentoring, and to help nurture an inclusive and culturally diverse environment in our Department and CMU. Teaching faculty at CMU have opportunities for advancement within the teaching track as well as professional development.

Please include a letter of application, a complete curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy and interests, and a statement of contributions to and plans to enhance diversity. You should also request 3-5 professional references through the confidential letter request function in the Interfolio system. You may wish to send an email to each of your letter writers to alert them that they will receive an automated email from Interfolio requesting that they upload their letter of recommendation (sometimes the automated Interfolio emails are mistaken for spam).

Company
Carnegie Mellon University challenges the curious and passionate to imagine and deliver work that matters.
A private, global research university, Carnegie Mellon stands among the world's most renowned educational institutions, and sets its own course.
Carnegie Mellon was founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie under the premise that a school established to foster and develop the technical skills of its students would soon produce students and graduates whose work would astound Pittsburgh and the world. Over 120 years later, our institution continues to produce talented alumni and draws faculty and staff eager to be a part of the university's creative, passionate and close-knit community. We place emphasis on practical problem solving, interdisciplinary learning, an entrepreneurial spirit, and collaboration.
Over the past 10 years, more than 400 startups linked to CMU have raised more than $7 billion in follow-on funding. Those investment numbers are especially high because of the sheer size of Pittsburgh’s growing autonomous vehicles cluster – including Uber, Aurora, Waymo and Motional – all of which are here because of their strong ties to CMU.
With cutting-edge brain science, path-breaking performances, innovative startups, driverless cars, big data, big ambitions, Nobel and Turing prizes, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of robots, CMU doesn't imagine the future, we create it.
Pittsburgh is home to over 86,000 students from 10 colleges and universities. Pittsburgh was ranked as one of the top U.S. cities for millennials.
Some 177,000 people work in Pittsburgh's tech-related industries, and their ranks continue to grow as the city tops lists for jobs. Networking opportunities, small business accelerators, and an innovative community make the city appealing to entrepreneurs, especially recent graduates.
Pittsburgh is emerging as a tech and culture hub that The Washington Post praises for its "world-class art museums and colorful neighborhoods."
Robotics and software engineering lead the way. The city is home to Google, Uber and Apple offices and a budding ecosystem of tech startups including Duolingo, Modcloth and 4Moms, all of which have CMU roots.
Many seek Pittsburgh for being a hot spot for entrepreneurship and a model for future cities. Others come for the city's burgeoning food scene.
You’ll find CMU locations nationwide — and worldwide. Silicon Valley. Qatar. Africa. Washington, D.C. To name a few.
